Is getting arrested a side-effect? What about being killed from overdosing?

U start to hear colors and see sounds. u also feel like spiders are under ur skin and start clawing ur skin off. oh ya and the addiction lasts forever so if ur addicted its either rehab, u keep doing it or suicide.( i would choose the first one).or u could try going off it urself but i doubt u could do that.

Depends on how much you have on you when you get caught. 15 to 20 years would be about average.

Once you do it, things will never be the same. And getting off is the hardest thing you will ever go through. Take an ex-addict's opinon and don't do it.

Nose bleeds, alcoholism, broke wallet, unpaid bills, divorce. Its great while you got that high but when you need that high like a cigarette or even food your done for

Side effects include but are not limited to jailtime, going bankrupt, stealing, selling everything, paranoia, losing values, losing self-esteem, going jobless, going homeless, getting burned on deal, getting beat up, fast-talking, jaw-grinding and daeth. Some of these last longer than others. Not really worth it at $10 a line for a 45 minute high.

Unlike marijuana, which attacks the neurons in the brain, (autopsy photos of casual users over long time use compared to normal brains) "crack " and it's cocaine parent mainly attacks the heart via the left ventricle and the heart can no longer act as a pump. It does also attack the brain as well, but most cocaine users die from heart attacks, where as, many marijuana users die from cerebral hemorrhage. Either way, few users ever are able to celebrate their 60th birthday.

I read an article in the Miami New Times on how Coke was making a comeback and people were getting "smarter " using it. Then it told the story of a police report on a guy who O'd. The police got a call from his neighbors because he was outside his home naked. Apparently, when one overdoses on cocaine, the body begins to overheat. This guy had torn off all his clothes and was running through the streets in panic that his body was ovreheating. Police didn't know what was going on, so they tackled him down to the ground. They didn't know he was ovredosing, they just thought he was nuts. By the time they figured it out, he died. It was sad. I kept thinking on how this man was once someone's little child. In my mind's eye, when I pictured the man running naked, instead I pictured a little kid running in panic.
